HERBRTTE's TELEGRAM.

Berlin, telegraphs that yesterday evening
he had an interview with Count Herber {
Bismarck, the German Minister for Foreign
Affairs, and that the latter maintained that
French territory was not violated
when NJ. Schnaebeles was arrested.

Germany is inclined to admit that the arrest
was irregular and contrary to the Franco

been written by NJ. Gautsch are proved to
be authentic. The dispatch adds that it is

SCHNAEBELES WELL TREATED.
LONDON, April 2S-A dispatch from
Nancy says: IN Schnaebeles is well treated
in prison and is allowed to write to his
